They are a nice touch artistically but not sure they are appropriate- the races in Tolkien dont tend to go on for building religous monuments.

True as a general rule, but considering that Valinor is the literal home of the gods (Angels ... whatever) and is very sparsely described I think it's an acceptable bit of artistic license.

Love the landscape and the blue cloaks and hoods in that last pic. Are those instruments they carry in their "backpacks"?

I like both those pictures, those Dwarves are how I imagined them in the book.

Given that it's the home of the undying gods, why is stonehenge all crumbly? There should be no decay in Valinor.Eldorion wrote:True as a general rule, but considering that Valinor is the literal home of the gods (Angels ... whatever) and is very sparsely described I think it's an acceptable bit of artistic license.

Are those sheet draped brontosaurs in Lorien?! Or is Galadriel freakishly tall and showing her age?

Just noticed that halfy, very funny.
On another note i don't think there is such a thing as a brontosaurus.
Wrong scull on a different body or something ?
